#5 Standing Forward Bend - Uttanasana

The standing forward bend not only targets the core and the spine, but it also activates the thighs, hamstrings, glutes, quads and the calf muscles.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned close together. Put your arms overhead in a fully extended position.

Step 2: Bend forward without bending your knees such that you touch your feet. Additionally, you could touch your head to the knees for added resistance.

Step 3: Hold the contraction for 30 seconds and return to the initial position.

Repeat the pose for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Beginners could bend their knees a little while performing this yoga pose.
